MINNESOTA – A former Minneapolis police union leader is seeking President-elect Donald Trump’s nomination to become Minnesota’s next U.S. Marshal.
Bob Kroll applied before the December 20 deadline created by a search committee for U.S. Attorney and U.S. Marshal candidates.
Kroll spent three decades as a law enforcement officer and earned the Minneapolis Police Department’s Medal of Valor. He also had a long disciplinary record including complaints of wrongful arrest and excessive force before he retired in 2021.
Kroll is banned from serving as a law enforcement officer in Hennepin, Ramsey and Anoka counties for 10 years under a federal civil settlement approved last year.
